I grew up in Higley, pop 10?? Moved to Chandler 1961 when it was 12,000 & my graduating class at CHS was 100.
Today, Chandler is 250,000 and a dozen high schools-—many named after family friends.
We used to drag race next to Mesa Comm. College on Sat nite-—an 8-lane (empty) highway.
I used to hunt doves where the Red Mountain Freeway 202 and Pima Freeway 101 now intersect in NW Mesa/NE Tempe.
Sigh, the good old days!
